The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 107

Sebastian's presence at the Landon estate was like a sleeping giant biding his time. He hid away to avoid his own family's vicious power struggles, securing a safe environment to grow up while secretly building his own empire in preparation to seize power.

He was like a wolf lurking in the dark—masterfully patient, intensely focused, and completely lethal. The moment he found his opening, he would strike, taking down his prey in one flawless move.

Sebastian was a man of terrifying depth and calculation. He was deeply mysterious and profoundly dangerous. Unless he actively chose to reveal his thoughts, no one could decipher them.

Just like right now. He had suddenly called Pierce into the study, yet sat in silence. Under the crushing weight of Sebastian's overwhelming presence, Pierce found it impossible to remain calm.

Sebastian smoked half his cigarette before raising an eyebrow and speaking up. "You went to Cloudcrest Manor recently?"

Pierce's heart skipped a beat. How did he know about Cloudcrest Manor?

He had originally planned to visit Sebastian while in Statenbury, but when Seraphina showed up, he had to cancel.

Why was he suddenly bringing this up? Was it just a casual question, or did he know something?

Or perhaps he was bringing it up because he hadn't allowed Pierce to invest in Cloudcrest Manor previously?

Unable to read Sebastian's intentions, Pierce replied cautiously, "Yeah, I took Riley there for a getaway. I was planning to visit you, but Riley fell sick the moment we arrived, and I stayed at the hospital to take care of her. I couldn't find the time."

Sebastian gave a slight nod.

Seeing no shift in the man's expression, Pierce relaxed slightly.

Sebastian exhaled a stream of pale blue smoke and spoke again. "You two had a fight?"

Pierce froze. He hadn't expected Sebastian to care about his personal life. But considering Riley had ignored him completely when he tried talking to her and serving her food during dinner, it was natural that Sebastian noticed. "She's still mad at me about Lory getting sick."

Sebastian leaned forward slightly. As his long arm reached for the ashtray on the coffee table, his slender fingers flicked the ash. "Your handling of the situation was indeed poor."

"I know I messed up this time..."
